Visualization and differential privacy
Privacy-preserving statistical databases are designed to provide information about a population while preventing end-users from learning about an individual. Meanwhile, scholars have shown that a sophisticated adversary can break such assumption against primitive privacy protections. Differential …

Local differential privacy in decentralized optimization
Privacy concerns with sensitive data are receiving increasing attention. In this thesis, we study local differential privacy (LDP) in interactive decentralized optimization. Comparing to central differential privacy (DP), where a centralized curator maintains the dataset, LDP is a stronger notion …

Improving the adaptability of differential privacy
Differential privacy is a mathematical technique that provides strong theoretical privacy guarantees by ensuring statistical indistinguishability of individuals in a dataset. It has become the de facto framework for providing privacy-preserving data analysis over statistical datasets. Differential …

Case Studies in Differential Privacy for Computer Networking Research
We conduct two case studies on the use of differential privacy in computer networking research: private analysis of 1) Internet performance measurements from the Measuring Broadband America dataset and 2) flow-based network traces from the NF-UNSW-NB15 Netflow dataset. We survey two open-source …

Converting to Optimization in Machine Learning: Perturb-and-MAP, Differential Privacy, and Program Synthesis
… a database containing sensitive data in a safe ("differentially private") manner can be converted into an optimization problem using the theory of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces. Finally, the fourth case study casts the challenging discrete search problem of program synthesis from input-output …

A Universally Applicable Differential Privacy System: Redefining Utility in Database Privacy to Prioritize User Experience
Data privacy is a fundamental ethical goal. We must aim for innovating without exploiting. In order to provide formal privacy guarantees, differential privacy has been the central method of implementing database privacy. However, there are many barriers to widespread adoption. General methods lack …
